  • New to me 80 MNS. Need seat cover

    Just got a 1980 MNS.

    So far, I'm loving it.

    The seat is passable, but has seen better days.

    Is there a good place to get a replacement cover?

    My seat looks a bit different than the eBay covers. It has a tufted pattern.




    Any help is appreciated.

    It looks like a not-stock seat with a not-stock seat cover. The first mission would seem to be find out who made the seat. Start by looking under the seat for some information.

    My XJ1100 not-stock seat has a Corbin sticker underneath identifying the manufacturer.

      Look at Google images for the pictures of the stock seat for your bike.

        Or....just click on the XS11INFO menu button at the top of the screen, select Ads-Brochures, and then select 81MNS and you'll see this!



        And his bike signature is partly my fault...he said Venturer....so I set it as the "H".
        He can change it by going into his User Control Panel and select Profile and Signature to make changes.

          Hey, TC -

          I think you're confusing this thread by ATracksler with the following thread started by another new member, aqqus:

              Corbin have an excellent reputation and are still in business http://corbin.com/
              Ask them. I predict it will not be cheap

                Looks like I found a MNS Seat, Anyone care to give me a ballpark value on the existing Corbin one?

                I'd just as soon sell it, since I don't need 2 seats....

                Works fine, foam is good, pleather is shot (as you can see in the picture...) Comfy to sit on.
